2 i VIRGINIA LETTER What a Trip to Washing ton Reveals. WHERE WAR RAGED. Scenes of a Numb r of the Blood) Battles of the Sixties — Cld Manassas- Tnis is a regular spring morn ing. Last niglit we had a shower. But this morning the sun is shill ing brightly. I almost feel that lam back in old Georgia The wriest fidds are beginning to shine and soon the whole landscape will 1 e a panorama of living grpen. Vet with all this, when I look upon the woods, which are putting on their varied tints, I am reminded that fall is truly here. Not long after arriving here, I joined a large party of excursion ists, who were now going to Wash ington, D. C , to take in the many interesting sights there. I venture to assert that, for the same dis tance, a more interesting route could not be found for an old sol dier who hid served with the gal lant army of northern Virginia. As I pass and along and heard the stations called out, most all of thtm brought back some scene enacted 1 * during the war, some of which my command had participated in, not all of which when we were going towards the enemy. Fisher’s j Hill and Strausburg were two of , the most noted places. Here sev eral severe battles and many minor ones were fought. At Straus burg was one of the most disastrous stampedes of our army in any cam paign of the valley. It will be le membered that the career of the armies in this valley was very checkered; tnauy miles were trav ersed by each, in their marches up and down. How the good people managed to save auythiug to live upon is a miracle, but the good women, with a smile and benedic tion, would divide the last morsel. Passing from the valley, through Thoroughfare Gap, it was not long before we were passing over the Manassas battle grounds. As we looked out upon the coun try, we were vividly carried back to the sixtie c fjrin many places could be seeu long rows of tents, with groups of soldiers, and much of the paraphernalia of actual war; at several stations soldiers were loaf ing around as of old ; but what a difference in playing soldier in time of peace and actual warfare. Going on, we passed through the old town of Alexandria, and were soon on the renowned long bridge over the Potomac, upon which many couples have been mated, some for a long life of hap piness and some for a very check ered career. Long before reaching the cap.- to! city, the monument could be seen, toweling above everything else. After satisfying an appe tite that was making urgent de mands, we started out to see the sights. You need not crfnge, f<jr I am sensible enough not to to under take a description. The nearest place of interest from our hotel was the Capitol. Here we were taken in charge of by guides, who were very pleasant in showing and explaining the sights; next was the Congressional Library, the finest of the govern ment buildings, with a tunnel for the transmission of books to and from the Capitol. At the treasury our guide was a negro, who was very polite and we'Linformed upon the workings of this department.
